Supposedly this is not a joke or photoshopped. This is the actual core values on the wall in the locker room of Louisville's football team.
A fine addition to the ACC!

#6 Make as much money for your taxpayer supported "nonprofit" institution as possible.

#6, If you break 1 through 5, don't get caught.

They only treat women with respect? wtf?

Wow. Is this what college athletics has come to? An institution of higher learning has to create core values for their adult athletes that are essentially the things that children should have learned by 1st grade (less the drugs and the guns of course)?

Before 1st grade drugs and guns are vital to survival.

Yes ... next question

I don't see much difference with the ones at Louisville (swap out treating women with treating everyone with respect) and a lot of corporate "core values". For many of them (respect, hard work, don't steal) are similar simple things that you would think most people learned growing up. Granted, they might fancy up how they say it, but the general ideas are the same.

How many players on the team are able to read that?
-
"Whats the sign say?"
"No bare feet."
"Whats that sign say?"
"No fighting."
"Watch does it mean?"
"No fighting."
"You owe me one gumball machine."

What's happened here is whoever composed this has confused the concept of "core values" with "rules".
If one decides to abide by a core value such as "treat others with respect", for example, there is no need to specifically mandate "no stealing."

I was thinking the same thing. These aren't values. They are rules

Same exact "core values"

It actually seems that Charlie Strong took the idea from Urban Meyer.

While I understand how depressing it is that these values need to be written down...
If more college athletes would abide by this list, a lot of problems would be solved. I applaud institutions of learning that are trying.

"No Drugs stealing weapons?"
So it's okay if the players do drugs, steal, and have/use weapons, but their drugs are not allowed to steal weapons, right?

Coach: "Why did you beat up that old man who was watching practice?"
Player: "What? It's not like that's on the list or anything."

Rules are what you need to do. They are designed to be enforced and to have consequences, which can result in star players having to be disciplined. No one wants to deal with that. If you call them "values" then it's more of a guide on how the players should act and then the coaches can use their own discretion in dealing with any "violations" of team values.
If Teddy Bridgewater lies about getting high, stealing a gun and using it to pistol whip his girlfriend, he technically didn't break any rules. (For the record, I've heard nothing but good things about Teddy. Just using the Heisman front-runner as an example)

This is a list of things players need to do to keep their eligibility.
